Fly-casting not in the Olympics, but enjoyed in 29 nations

“The American Casting Association, starting 40 or 50 years ago, has

line as I understand the Olympic effort for a new sport to be
recognized and become an official event is the number of countries in
the world that actually do participate in the event. The magic number
of countries is unknown to me, but my guess is 50 to 75 countries are

global appeal of fly-casting; every continent is represented except
South America and Antarctica. (South America’s an odd omission, since
there’s plenty of fly-fishing there.)  LINK
